Windows 7 - All my files have changed to READ ONLY, PLZ HELP!

| | All my files have changed to READ ONLY, PLZ HELP! Hello there, I made a thread here earlier explaining a problem I had with iTunes not opening because it says it is located on a locked drive. After looking around I discover that EVERYTHING is in read only. This has affected all my files. Most Importantly, all the libraries are protected somehow, meaning I CANNOT MAKE A NEW FILE/FOLDER/DELETE A FILE/DO ANYTHING ON MY COMPUTER. When I attemp to change the many folders I have to not "read only" I get an error message saying I have to have admin rights. I DO HAVE ADMIN RIGHTS. I am the only admin/user on this computer. This is so very frustrating!!! I think is happened because yesterday I connected with my Xbox 360 (media extender) to play music in the other room. I ALSO went into WMP and switched on streaming of my files. If I knew that this was going to happen I would have never done it! It looks like to me the only option is to reformat, or to roll back everthing. PLEASE HELP ME! Sorry if I sound harsh, for I am very angry atm. |

| | Safe mode didn't help. It had the same problems.  I think it looks like I'll have to do a system restore if I want all my files back... |

| | Oh my god, I think I have found a solution. All I had to do was right click > Share with > Homegroup (Read/write) And now I can make folders, move stuff around, etc. I think this has solved most things... |
